Hon. p. II. keliy's Ideas of the Re-
ception to the President and
Wife.
Ion the occasion of the presidents
visit TO St. Paul" said Hon. =. H. Kelly
to a representative of the GLOBE yeSter-
day, Il trust all our people will unite in
showing him the honors and courtesy
due him as the first citizen of this coun-
try, and that there will be an absence
of any sectional feeling what
ever, but everything that can re-
dound to the credit of st. Paul
should be conduced tremendously and
with an eye single to making his visit
here memorable in our annals. 1t is
likely that the subject will be preached
at the meeting OF the chamber of COM
merce next Monday, and when all our
representative citizens are assembled
plan will be formulated to accord a
proper reception to our distinguished
guest.
president Cleveland will leavelMadi-
son, Wis, for st. Paul Sunday after
noon, Oct. .. and arrive in this city the
following day. and he Will remain here
until noon Tuesday, when he will
leave for Minneapolis. My idea, which
is of course only in the nature of a Sug-
geSSion. is TO have the various uniformed
organizations of carnival clubs and
other civic societies meet the preSiden-
tial party at the union depot and
escort them to their hotel. After
giving them time to recover from
the fatigue incident to their long ride,
then let procession be formed to es-
cort the party through the principal
streets of st. Paul. a carriage containing
l,a Trc nd
drawn by six horses each led by a groom
in livery, being the only conveyance in
the line of procession, and in this way
most creditable display can be made.
OF course the military from Fort Smell
ing and the various militia companies
of this section will be invited to partici
pate, and mark my words for it, the
president will always have just
CAUSE TO REMEMBER
the manner in which he was entertained
by the people of ST. Paul. This might
be done in the evening, say about
O'Clock, and over the line of march there
might be a universal Illumination OF
private and business houses, and those
who cannot afford such an expense will
be attended to by proper committee.
There are upwards of 5000 members
of the various carnival clubs, aid their
parade would be Il feature equally as
imposing as during carnival times, and
besides it would be novelty that no
other city that is to entertain the preSi-
dent could present. What we want to
do is to go into this matter in earnest
and with desire to do credit not only
to ourselves, but to the city of which we
are all so proud, and allow no party
. feeling to hamper US, but render
a fitting tribute to the president
of the United States, who has come such
a long distance to visit us. With this
idea paramount | think | am safe in
predicting that st. Paul will carry the
banner as royal entertainer, and in
after years the president and his wife
will be glad that they accepted our invi-
tatlon, for we gave them an event which
Will be a red letter one in their liyeS.'
Naturally there will be great num-
Der of people attracted to the city to
see the president, and a public recep-
ton at the hotel will probably be ar
ranged for Tuesday-say from 10 o'clock
until nOon-and in this manner hun
dreds Of people will have the opportun-
1ty OF being presented to Mr.. and Mrs
Cleveland. No plan has ever been dis
cussed, but | merely throw out these
suggestions for our people to think over,
with view to the preparation of some
thing more tangible and creditable 1t
Is not III any sense to be made political
matter, but one in which the men of all
politics and their families can unite in
doing honor to the president of the
United States and his charming bride.
